Event methods are executed when a form is used to create a new record. The details can vary, depending on the type of controls present on the form.

Grid Scenario

In this scenario, a form contains one grid control. A data source is bound to the grid control. The data source is associated with two fields from a table.

A user opens the form, and then the grid is populated with data. The first line in the grid has focus.

A user enters a new record by using a grid control on a form. They begin by pressing the shortcut keys CTRL+N. This creates a new, empty line in the grid and gives focus to the new line. The following list shows the sequence of event method executions that occurs when the user continues with the steps needed to create a record in the database.

  1. leaveRecord on the data source.

    The user enters data into the first empty cell, and then presses TAB.

  2. validateField on the table.

  3. modifiedField on the table.
